託福寫作素材之改編自books的電影
在看金剛狼，愛樂之城blah blah的時候，你還需要…
嗯，還需要準備些紙巾，因爲這倆都挺好哭的。
還需要…
想想你的upcoming TOEFL exam, 畢竟託福寫作考過這種題…
許多電影人make movies based on books. 有的人傾向於read the book before they watch the movie. Which one do you prefer?
很多同學看到這個話題的時候內心是有點崩潰的，因爲他們的問題是
1. 哪些電影是小說改編的啊???
2. 哦想起了!好像豆瓣排名第一(還是第二?)的肖申克救贖是的，但是英文名是啥? Xiao Shen Ke De Jiu Shu???
We really don't want to get ourselves into this kind of situation, do we?
所以大家就趁着蹲個廁所的功夫來看一些改編自books的電影吧，shall we?
1. Beauty and the Beast美女與野獸
你們的女神屈臣氏小姐(Emma Watson)的這部美女與野獸要很快就要上映了，這個可以算是made based on books(fairy tales, actually:) 的電影吧?感覺是可以寫進文章裏的? 如果你要把這個電影用做你的例子，你會同意先看電影再看書還是先看書再看電影呢…BTW， 據說Emma Watson 接了這部戲就拒絕了La La Land的邀約……
2. Arrival 降臨
這部降臨也是改編自小說的呀!小說名字叫做Story of Your Life. IMDB評分8.1其實是很高的了，但是如果我要用這個電影來做例子的話，我肯定會支持I prefer to read the novel first, because currently the technology is not yet amazing enough to get the picture to measure up to our expectation. By the way, the physicist in my imagination is much more handsome. :
3. The Martian 火星救援
呆萌(Matt Damon) looks so cute in his spacesuit, doesn't he? Anyway 如果用這個例子的話我應該會支持先看電影吧…因爲如果不是這個電影我可能對火星都沒啥興趣，not to mention to pick up a book about how to survive on Mars 了，哈哈~
4. Gone Girl 消失的愛人
提到呆萌怎麼能不提提他的好基友Ben Affleck呢!兩個有顏(至少曾經有顏，sad)又有才的好兄弟自從當時的Good Will Hunting就一直是大衆津津樂道的couple。這部Gone Girl如果還沒看的童鞋，一定要叫上男朋友或女朋友一起看啊!有助於增強感情。也是同名小說改編的哦。
5. The Revenant 荒野獵人
或者大家可以說說小李子(Leonardo DiCaprio)的這部荒野獵人?反正我是看了電影更不想看小說了，coz it's just too depressing… and some scenes make me feel nauseous…
好了，再更多你們就沒耐心了，我知道。
所以今天就到這兒啦。
P.S.
1. 所有電影的簡介都可以在上去找。你該不會想要在百度找然後自己翻譯吧…
2. 可能有同學想寫中國電影?那你可以寫個那些年我們一起追的女孩 You Are the Apple of My Eye 哈哈哈 這個國民度感覺是高的
3. 作爲一名託福教師我想告訴大家的是，考前準備充分是最重要的事情。比如電影素材啊，政治人物啊啥的。別天天關注什麼《驚!托福考試出現10年來最大變化!》這樣的文章，很醉的。多來北京新東方強化班/精講精練班上課纔是正!經!事!
4. 暫時還沒想到。下期見，麼麼噠~

每年2月14日，是西方傳統的聖瓦倫丁節，又稱“情人節”。它具有悠久的歷史。古羅馬 時代的牧神節，就是一個情侶們的節日。是日男女青年可以歡聚一堂。
姑娘們把表達愛情 的祝辭放在籤筒裏，小夥子依次抽籤，抽到哪位姑娘的祝辭，那位姑娘就成爲他的戀人。 __興起，教會對牧神節風俗很不以爲然。但由於這個節日受到青年人的偏愛，所 以仍然延續了下來。到公元7世紀，教會領袖希望把這節日同__聯繫在一起，於是他 們用__殉教者瓦倫丁的名字爲這個節日重新命名，並把日期由原來的2月15日改爲2月 14日。翻閱早期__殉教史，可以找到三個叫瓦倫丁的殉教者，其中一個是公元3世紀的 主教。
當時羅馬皇帝認爲已婚男子都不願離家當兵，即使上了戰場也不會成爲一個好兵， 因此發佈了一道禁止結婚的法令瓦倫丁對此十分憂慮，他違背皇帝的旨意，祕密地爲青年 人舉行婚禮，因此遭到監禁，於公元271年2刀14日死於獄中.經過幾世紀的漫長歲月，瓦倫丁節的慶祝方式發生了不少變化。
在16世紀的英國，瓦 倫丁節的風俗十分奇特有趣。隨着新大陸的開發，英國移民又把這一極富有浪漫色彩的節 日帶到了北美，逐漸成爲美國人喜愛的節日之一。在美國，瓦倫丁節已不僅是青年入的節日。親人朋友之間，不論年齡大小，都可以互 送小禮品以表達感情，增進友誼。美國有不少商店專門出售這類禮品。如裝飾成心形的高 級巧克力糖盒，或者繫着紅緞帶的鬱金香花束等。至於各式各樣飾有花邊、灑上香水的情 人卡，更是比比皆是。 當然，年青人才是瓦倫丁節真正當之無愧的主角。他們在這一天鄭重其事地爲戀人選 擇禮物，興高采烈地伴同朋友去郊遊：或者成雙成對地去參加由俱樂部組織的情人舞會。 特別有趣的是，那些心靈手巧的小夥子常常想方設法把向姑娘求愛的瓦倫丁節問候卡製成 玲攏精製的工藝品，有的彷彿是一隻美麗的蝴蝶，有的宛若一朵盛開的鮮花：還有的恰似 愛神丘比特正在彎弓射箭。
那些癡情的姑娘則按照傳統習俗，在瓦倫丁節前夜把月桂樹葉 放在枕頭上，盼望着在夢中同自己的心上人相會。 特別引人入勝的是情人節之夜的化裝舞會。這在幾十年前就十分流行。參加舞會的入 ，個個煞費苦心地將自己裝扮起來，有的化裝成中世紀的騎士，有的化裝成西班牙的海盜 ，還有的化裝成東方的皇帝。聰明的舞會主人常常給每位客人發，個帶花邊的瓦倫丁卡片 ，上面寫着某個人的名字，這個人就成爲你今晚的夥伴。因此在舞會上，人們便可以看到羅密歐和灰姑娘翩翩起舞;哈姆雷特同卡門談笑風生;阿拉伯公主同查理二世共進晚餐。 他們化裝得那樣維妙維肖.使人覺得彷彿真的是一羣古人復活了。 瓦倫丁節就是這樣一個充滿愛情和友誼的歡樂節日.
託福寫作素材：成功的關鍵因素

Key Factors of Success
託福寫作題目解析：

(成功：多面手和單一技能)20160703
People who acquire more than one skill are more likely to become successful than people who just focus on one skill.

託福寫作參考素材
Skill
The first success factors that you can use to achieve the best life possible is simply skill. Malcolm Gladwell in his book Outliers: The Story of Success cites famous examples such as the Beatles and Bill Gates who spent at least 10,000 hours on their specific craft before achieving expert status. Devoting more time to a specific area will increase the proficiency in field of study. Your level of ability in your field will determine the quality and quantity of your results. The better you get at what you do, the easier it is for you to start moving forward to get a particular level of results. As you increase your skill, through study and experience, you get better and better at doing the small things that increase the speed and predictability of your results.
Contacts
The third success factor for moving forward and achieving the best life is by developing an ever-widening circle of contacts. You will find that every major change in your life is accompanied by a person or persons who either opens or closes doors for you. The possibility of the best life for you will be determined by the number of people who know you and like you and who are willing to help you. In order to broaden your network of contacts, you must network continually, at every opportunity. There seems to be a direct relationship between the number of people you know and how successful you are.
託福獨立寫作素材：領導特質
託福寫作素材:領導特質
What are some important qualities of a good supervisor (boss)? Use specific details and examples to explain why these qualities are important.
託福獨立寫作範文：
The qualities of a good supervisor are too numerous to name. It also depends on the situation. Supervisors who work in an academic situation may have different qualities from those who work in a business company. Generally speaking, however, all good supervisors must have the qualities of effective communication, fair treatment, and role models.
First, a good supervisor communicates well. A supervisor gives instructions and directions to his or her supervisees as to what work to do and how to do it. Then instructions and directions must be clearly communicated so that they can be followed. If they are not clearly formulated and explained, the supervisees may feel at a loss at why they have to do something and how to do it. (I know of somebody who gets angry easily when his employees fail to follow his instructions. However, he often gives vague instructions and is unwilling to clarify his requirements, which makes it difficult for his supervisees to follow his instructions.) Thus, a good supervisor is effective in communicating his or her instructions and is willing to clarify things for his or her supervisees.
Second, a good supervisor shows fair treatment of employees. The supervisor treats all his or her employees with equal respect and shows no favoritism. Otherwise, some employees may have a sense of unfairness and demonstrate performance less than ideal. Even though the supervisor may have or develop some personal feelings about or personal relationship with an employee, he or she does not let such feelings or relationship affect his or her judgment and treatment of the person. Instead, the supervisor evaluates each employee’s performance against the same set of criteria and rewards or punishes each employee on the basis of objective assessment.
Finally, a good supervisor sets an example for employees. In other words, a good supervisor sets the standards for his or her employees by his or her own behavior. Well goes an English proverb, “Example is better than percept.” A good supervisor must do what he or she requires the subordinates to do. For example, if the supervisor works hard, it is likely that his or her employees will work diligently as well. Likewise, if the supervisor always gets work done on time, the employees must feel pressured to finish work on time, too. Therefore, a good supervisor acts professionally if he or she expects the supervisees to act in a professional way.
In short, the main qualities of a good supervisor are effective communication, fair treatment, and role models. Most supervisors have effective communication skills but sometimes forget fair treatment of employees or fail to set an example for them. Good supervisors should check themselves, every once in a while, to make sure that they are practicing these qualities.
託福寫作素材：討論的好處
Benefits of a discussion
Students react to content, share challenges, teach each other, learn by stating and understanding, clarify assumptions, experiment, own new skills and ideas.
Distance education greatly extends classroom learning
Individualization of learning: Personal responses to forum topics are not limited in time or the length. Students have the freedom to continue dialogues about the topics that interested them most.
Encouragement of critical thinking: Effective forum topics are open-endedand designed to encourage students to take a position on issues. To respond to a forum topic requires organized thought and synthesis of concepts introduced in class. If a student's views were challenged, he or she typically adds carefully considered reasons to back up previous comments.
Student autonomy: Students have the flexibility to reflect on their thoughts and read the responses of others. Many students have stated that they routinely discussed the forum topics with friends, family and colleagues outside of class before putting their comments online.
Increased interaction time: A 45-hour semester places severe limits on the quality of discussions and experiences possible in a course. Often a course is the only one of its type required in a program. The instructor isthus under extreme pressure to provide extensive and meaningful learning. In a three-hour class meeting of an average class size, an equal division of time allots only 5 minutes of discussion per student. Regular forum discussion adds hours of interaction over a semester.
More democratic exchange: In any class of 25-30 students, there will bedominant personalities, and students who may feel intimidated or unmotivated to speak. Therefore discussions, even in small groups, do not allow equal time to all students. In the online forum, each student has a voice that will be heard by anyone who chooses to read his or her comments.
More time to formulate responses and opinions: Because the forum discussions occur completely online, students have the flexibility to add their input when they are prepared. Some choose to answer questions immediately, while others prefer to consider the responses of others first. Undergraduate students are often much more comfortable discussing topics online after reading the viewpoints of the more experienced students. Students are encouraged to revisit past topics during the course, as their opinions changed.
Flexibility and convenience: Students set their own schedule for the forum. A forum is available at all times of day or night to accommodate school, work, and family demands. The forum is accessible from any Internet connection via the World Wide Web, allowing students to participate even when they were sick or traveling.
Students learn about the content from another perspective.
Students experience a professional communication process. Participantsexperience personal and academic gains as result of their communication with their peers. A goal is for the students to value such professional interchange, and seek it out among their colleagues, and for electronic communication to facilitate the process.
Students find a content/expertise resource. Some professions tend to be somewhat isolated. The forum introduces to others who could serve as resources during the course, and into employment.
